Kinda hope east server keeps having some server issues.

  Those divine stones just keep adding up. I have like.....40 now? Regardless, getting lots of these for free is nice.

  I'm starting to wonder how the hell Vind makes any profit if they keep giving us the only items worth anything for free.

  Uhh... I would really say Divine Stones are one of the least valuable items they have, just above Fishing Rods (derp).
  
  Enhancement Rune
  Perm Hair/Inner/Dazzle 'em Dead Package
  Enchantment Rune
  Dye Ampoule
  Cadet/Novice Badge (Novice Badge is essentially the same price as 10 Luck Blessing stones but will last longer)
  
  etc

  Also consider that half the effects of Divine Blessings are largely useless to some players.
  
  A lot of long time players have all their core skills maxed, so the AP portion of the blessing is useless. EXP is useless without token limits and if you're already 70. Meaning that Divine Blessings are really just Luck Blessings for the sort of person who'd buy NX, though this is assuming that only "endgame" players buy NX (I know that's not the case).
  
  Also don't forget the new Dura Boost pots and the Unbind Pots. Which are both a lot more important to people who are going to +10 and enchanting things. That and Gachapons... ooohh gachapons...

  Meh, it's a free luck boost.
  
  I really appreciate it. They didn't have to do anything. They could've just went with "maintenance is extended and go **** yourself".
  
  I really hope I never go to a dragon raid without one of these things.

  The AP and EXP bonuses are really quite minimal, especially if you have all your main skills maxed out and/or are at level 70. The luck bonus amounts to 1 or 2 more drops at most. Though the prospect of getting a few more chipped hooks per run is pretty tempting...

  Well, at least the stones are free, kind of like giving out a chance to get a lucky item for free. I won't argue with the increased chance for Glas pants to drop.

  The latest Divine Blessing Stones were actually because the East servers went down for no good reason this past... Sunday? I believe.
  
  And I'm pretty sure that the compensation stones for the maintenance that took almost half a day was something the player base deserved, since the reason the maintenance took so long was because they were doing maintenance on some other Nexon games which somehow messed up Vindictus' servers as well.

  Yeah, but still, whether it was "deserved" or not it's still a free cash item.

  I guess they expire in your mail? Cuz I only have 5 free ones.

  I have yet to see an expiration date on any compensation mail from Nexon.
• Invertex wrote on 2011-11-24 04:34
  Yep, all messages sent by "Vindictus GM" (usually event/compensation items) have no expiration date, I have some from a year ago.
  If your mailbox is somewhat full, try deleting some messages and seeing if you find any of the older ones.

  I play west server and didn't notice any downtime o_O. I was wondering what the compensation was for. I have 35 of them now.

  I don't know what you guys are talking about, I enjoy the effects of these stones.
  
  More drops the better~
